Episode 3: The Seminole Tribe of Florida
Send us your Florida questions!
Dave Scheidecker, the historic archaeologist for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, joins the podcast this week to talk about what his work with the Tribe involves, myths surrounding the Tribe, and how Florida itself helped the Seminoles remain unconquered.
We look forward to having Dave back on the podcast to talk more about Polly Parker, Egmont Key's concentration camp, and other Tribal history.
